An exhibition of the works of the most important Hungarian visual artists living in the separated areas opened in Székesfehérvár. The exhibition was opened by Prime Minister Gergely Gulyás.
"We belong together. The exhibition "Masterpieces of Hungarian fine art beyond Trianon's borders from the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery" was created by the Museum of Fine Arts - Hungarian National Gallery and the Szent István Király Museum. In his speech opening the exhibition, Gergely Gulyás emphasized that under the guidance of the most important visual artists living in the territories separated after Trianon, the way of the cross created by the 20th century can be walked for Hungarians, and in this calvary they show the community of fate and togetherness".
He believed that their point of view is different even if it is the same: eternal human, which is certainly valid in every part of the Earth, therefore it helps to distance yourself and at the same time to understand more deeply everything that happened to the Hungarians in the last century. The minister emphasized that perhaps Trianon's biggest blow was the "disintegration" of the divided parts of the nation, life took a different course from here and beyond the border. Separate cultural forces were created, which until 1990 could only be connected at the cost of great efforts and often enormous heroism, he added.
According to Gergely Gulyás, there are two conditions for "surpassing Trianon": one is to reconnect the severed threads between Hungarians and Hungarians.
He believed that in the decade that has passed since 2010, they have come a long way since the unification of the nation under public law in countless areas of cultural, economic, church, sports and community life. The minister called the other important condition "to make the Carpathian basin our common home again with the joint efforts of all the commonwealths living here", which can be an island of peace, stability and prosperity. Central Europe and Hungary are so strong, they can be so free, they can decide their own destiny as much as they can add up their strength, he believed.
